How to start a blog in easy steps in 2022

If you’re wondering how to start a blog in 2022 and make money online, this in-depth post can guide you through the setup process step by step so that you can have your new blog up and running in no time!

More than 8 years ago now, I decided to start a blog on a whim. I didn’t really think much would come of it. (In fact, I was so nervous about putting it out there that I hoped no one would ever read it!) But what started as my little “secret project” has become my absolute dream job that my husband Donnie and I feel oh-so-blessed to be able to do full time. (Pinch me!)

Over the years, one of the most common emails Abby and I have received is one asking us how to start a blog. It’s something many people think about doing, but most of them simply don’t know where to begin. Since we know that starting a blog has been a total game changer for our family, and Abby and I are passionate about helping others create blogs in hopes that they can become successful and change their own lives as well

This guide was created to show you how to start a blog in 2021. It’s possible to have a blog up and running in just a few minutes, but we wanted to take things further and show you some of the important details behind starting a successful blog.

Things have changed over the years, and it’s more important than ever to start your blog the correct way and lay a solid foundation for future blogging success. But please remember that the ultimate key to your blogging success is action. The most successful bloggers are the ones who do a whole lot more than they research.

I hope this extensive guide will help you. If you have something to share with the world and have always wanted to start a blog, you’re in the right place.

I also want to take a minute and mention that we offer a blog setup service. It’s not widely advertised because of the limited number of people we can help. If you’re interested, please send an email to [email protected] and I’ll provide more information.

For most people, the “do it yourself” method in this article is the way to go. Let’s get started!

Before we work through the steps of starting your blog, there are two questions I need to answer.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST OUR BLOGGING ADVICE?

Great question. In January of 2013, my wife Abby started this blog. She worked like crazy during her first year, published new articles on a consistent basis, and connected with other bloggers, and as a result, the blog grew. In February of 2014 Abby asked me to join her (while still working my full time job) and help with the technical and strategic aspects of her blog. The blog grew some more. Then in January of 2015, I left my full-time job to help Abby with the blog on a full time basis. It’s now 2021 and we are still going strong!

Now we receive over 500,000 page views every month and earn a multi six-figure income from the blog. We’re not special, but we sure have learned a lot over the past few years. We’ve been where you are right now and have had the same questions you have. We’re here to help you start your blog the right way.

Let’s get started! Here are my detailed instructions (and advice) on how to start a blog in 10 easy steps…

Before you pick a name for your blog and register the domain name (URL), there’s something we have to talk about…

CAN I START A BLOG FOR FREE? (CHOOSING THE BEST BLOG PLATFORM)

You have an idea, a topic, or you just want a place to share your thoughts, but what is the best way to get started? Before we get into a discussion about which platform is best, it is important to note that a blog hosted on WordPress.com is a very different thing than a self-hosted blog on WordPress.org. Yes, the names look very similar, but the options and limitations that come with each one are very different, so be sure to note which one we’re talking about as we discuss them below.

It’s tempting to choose one of the numerous free blogging platforms like WordPress.com or Blogger– everybody likes free, right?! But in this case, “free” definitely comes with some downsides. With both Blogger and WordPress.com blogs, you give up a tremendous amount of control and future flexibility by using a free blogging platform.

WordPress.com inhibits your ability to utilize display ads and various widgets, like those used for giveaways and link parties. Blogger is owned by Google, and therefore Google can shut down your blog any time they see fit. Blogger blogs can run ads, but they tend to earn less ad revenue than blogs of the same size that are self-hosted on WordPress.org. Some of these drawbacks may not seem like a big deal when you’re first starting out, but they will definitely hinder your blog down the road, and switching platforms once your blog is established is not always an easy process.

If you think you’ll be in this blogging thing for the long haul or would like to monetize your site at some point, we recommend starting with a self-hosted WordPress.org blog from the get-go. WordPress.org is the standard in the industry, and that’s not likely to change anytime soon. The number of tools, themes, add-ons, e-commerce solutions, designs, and marketing software options that work with WordPress.org are endless, allowing you to create a site that looks exactly the way you want and has all of the functionality that you need.
